Pyridine → Phenyl 4-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-methylpropan-2-yl)-3-fluorophenylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-(4-amino-2-fluorophenyl)-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol (1.5 g, 7.53 mmol, 1.0 eq) in acetone (50 mL) was added pyridine (1.2 g, 15.18 mmol, 2.0 eq) and phenyl chloroformate (1.3 g, 8.28 mmol, 1.1 eq) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at RT for 1 h. The acetone was evaporated, and the resulting residue was diluted with EtOAc (50 mL), washed with water (100 mL), brine (20 mL) and the solvent evaporated. The crude product was purified by silica CC using EtOAc/PE (3:2) as eluent to get phenyl 4-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-methylpropan-2-yl)-3-fluorophenylcarbamate (1.7 g, 71%) as a white solid (TLC system: EtOAc/PE (7:3), Rf: 0.55).
